In the 1960s you could also find his effects published under his real name (i.e., as "Norman Houghton") in Abracadabra.

Among his notable creations is a sleight now known as the Flushtration Count (or the Back Count), a method for showing that all the cards in a small packet are identical when in fact they can all be different. It was popularized by Brother John Hamman in his trick, Flushtration, marketed by Abbott's Magic in 1969, and as such is commonly attributed to him, but Houghton published the count nearly 15 years before in Ibidem No. 1, June 1955
